Mr.. Jordan, & Well.to-do citizen ot
Americas, Ga., is in the city prospecting,
and was so taken with the good points
and cheapness Of Texas PONIES thai lie
bought quite a numDer, which he will
take back to MS Georgia home. MIR
Jordan says his trip TO TeNas has shcwn
him the utility and profit there is
in stock farming, and he means TO
go back home and institute
radical change On his farm in the direc-
| ton mentioned. He means to give cotton
| the grand go-by henceforth, snd cultivate
the grasses cereals for cattle and
| horses. a carrying out this idea ne will
take back quite number OF native broou
mares, from which ne expects to raise
| first class colts. Mr.. Jordan says the
trouble with TEXAS stockmen in MS
opinion lies in trying to raise too many
head Of stock, whether of horses, cattle,
sheep or hogs, instead OF having fewer

Few Know What They Drink.

ut is fact" said Il somewhat famous
mixerof fancy drinks last evening, that there
are very few good judges of liquor. 1t is a
very old chestnut to set out whisky when
brandy is called for, and not one in ten can
tell the difference. l have often been told BIZ
n customer that he had never tasted finer,
brandy when he was drinking a very ordi-
nary whisky. There are few people who can
distinguish between high and low priced
wines. remember nearly splitting my sides
once laughing at a man who was ordering
champagne. He was drinking Wcrner's
American extra dry, and told his friend how
he once drank it with NJ. Werner in Paris.
He thought it was the highest priced French
Wine until he ound out that it was costing
him only Il dollar q bottle. Then he wilted.
"Even manufacturers are sold. Once at a
convention of the beer brewers of the couu-
try 1 heard a brewer boast that he could
name any kind of beer with his eyes blinded.
We tried him, and when the handkerchief
was over his eyes VIC gave him Zinc sips out
of the same glass and heard him name nine
different brands. That was very good sport.
AS a matter of fact, this telling liquors by
the taste is very delicate business. BY mod
ern processes distillers can age liquors so as
to fool even the old timers. The worst case l
ever struck was n fisherman who rowed me
down the river last summer. Offered him a
swig out of a bottle containing very fine
whisky. He returned it, saying it was poor
stuff. l handed him Il bottle containing some
rot gut l used to clean my gun. He took q
long pull, and said it was DIS good liquor as no
ever tasted.-Bufralo Courier.
